| My Honchuggy...
Pretty simple build. Just needing to get around to making some inner fenders. Love the FubarCrawlers Delrin Beadlock Rings. I had 2.2's on here but couldn't get away from the 1.9 look with the tall MT BC. The position of the batteries makes a world of difference. The center of gravity is so much lower now that I've built those battery trays. |

Looks great! Really like the look of what you've done with the cage. Light bar supports are cool. Pic request: Can you take a pic of the cage without the spare on?? Thanks. |

| Re: My Honchuggy... Ankerman steering knuckle . Didn't like the looks of any of the lifts out there, and when I saw the knuckles I thought those would fit perfectly! Thanks!!

Here's some pics without the spare. Those angled pieces are just bolted right to the back of the cab and I drilled holes in them so I can slide the body pins through them on the shock towers. |

Looks great man. I think the 1.9's look great. Like that rear shock set up.

YES! I love that you used the camo sheet decal! I got the same thing to use on my body, but couldn't get a color scheme to work, so never did it. Still have the sheet though

The ankermans give it just enough clearance to let the shocks fully compress.
